Question

Give explanation of Van de Graff generator with pic and give working also

Answer 1

hey dear :)



in 1931, Van de Graff devised an electrostatic generator in order to produce very high potentials of the order of 10^6 volt . It is used for Accelerating electrons and other charged particles required to study nuclear reaction.


PRINCIPLE:- This Generator makes use of the following two electrostatic phenomena :


1:) Action of Sharp points on a charged conductor :-


2:; If a small +ly charged sphere is enclosed by a spherical shell then on connecting the inner sphere with the shell with a conducting wire . The charge would necessarily from the sphere to shell , irrespectively of charging condition of the shell.



For Construction and Diagram :- See attached file .



Hope helps you :)

Answer 2

HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:-

It is a machine used to generate a very high potential. also used to accelerate the charged particles. it is based upon the fact that charge given to a hollow sphere is distributed uniformly on the outer surface, and also based upon the principle of action of sharp points.
